Did you know that the Ger man Ubrary of Information, fountalnhead of Nazi" propagan¬ da on our shores, has increas¬ ed Its budget tenfold in the past year? . . . According to testi¬ mony given before the Dies Committee, the so<;alled library now has a budget of $200,000 a year, whereas formerly it used to spend only .$20,000 annually. . . . "Blltzkreig in Westem" is the Nazi made movie of the con¬ quest of Westem Europe which Nazl-Iovlng movie exhibitors ar^ showing in various American towns nowadays . . . The Idea being to scare Americans Into an appeasement policy . . . The No Foreign War Committee at a recent Long Island meeting barred "God Bless America" be-1 cause it was written by a Jew, Trving Berlin . . , Those in the know claim that German bomb¬ ing planes and pilots to fly them are already being brought to Mexico, In preparation for Der Tagging of Uncle Sam ... Did you know that Jews In ghetto, ized Pollah cities are sentenced to Jail terms if they leave the ghetto without special permits? . . . One thing that amazed the Germans in Paris, reports Pierre Ijazareff, Is > the small number of Jewish-owned shojjs Tbe oicupylng, fd^iSs, it '^clMna came
posters bearing the words Jue< dlscbes 'Geschaeft—but found only a very few such stores to use these posters on ... Antl- Semltlc violence Is comparative- ty rare in unoccupied France, despite the efforts of one Jac¬ ques Doriet, who from head¬ quarters in what used to be Baron Rothschild's Riviera ¦vil¬ la is trying to organize French youth along the Nazi model . . . Not long ago the Doriet youth did make a tentative excursion into the art of pogrom-making, smashing the windows of Jew¬ ish stores at Vichy . . . But these activities were discontinued when It was found that they in¬ variably were followed Ijy mys¬ terious breakage of the windows of tbe local Doriet headquarters. VIA SHORT WAVE
We had a very Interesting time fiddling with our radio the other evening . . . We got Ber¬ lin and heard a German short¬ wave-cast, directed at North America, explain that because of the British policy In Palestine the Jews should oppose aid to Britain . . . And we wondered whether the Nutzls were ex¬ pecting the German Jewish refu¬ gees in this country to swaiioW that stuff . . . Then came an English-language speech, deliv¬ ered in a perfect American ac¬ cent . . . The speaker made an eloquent appeal for the develop¬ ment of a Nazi-style antl-Semit- ' ism in this country, and dis¬ coursed at length on how true democracy is possible only among a home-geneous people— by which, of course, he meant a nation that doesn't include Jews . . . "We must have no animosity toward the Jews", he said, and then weijt on to call them ali sorts of unpleasant thhigs—but in a most polite way . . . When, finally, he had flnlshed, the announcer came on the air to tell his listeners that this broadcast had come from the Third Reich over a (CoatUiued on Page 8)
